Happy Little Christmas Tag

Who doesn't love those special little personal touches on presents?  Nobody I know!  I love to add decorative gift tags when I wrap my presents for friends and family.  This Jolly Old St. Nick tag will spruce up just about any gift. 


The colorful art deco background is from the Authentique Durable paper pad.  I applied double-sided adhesive to one corner and stuck it on at an angle to form a triangle.  I added four of Altered Pages wonderful collage images, a German Scrap border, chipboard flourish and a single dew drop glued on with a single drop of Tacky Glue.  Of course this tag can be embellished with layers of yarn, ribbon and thread!  I'm going to wait and choose colors that will coordinate with the gift wrap before I add those.  Then write a little note on the back and sign it and you have the perfect accessory!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
